Help I'm dying of heat here. 40c.
According to my hot lab here, this is a gold award tube combination. HD800 is singing as sweetly as Utopia now.
Mullard ECC31 and 6BX7s.
Could people tell me if there is a special tube combination with GOTL that can really flatter relatively poor recordings, e.g. some 70's rock CD's. I'm wondering if there is such a combination, that is very forgiving of most recordings, when trying to put "lipstick on a pig", so to speak. I have lots and lots of those CD's, so I would be very interested to know.
Ha I have just the tube combination for you. It's Mordy's favourite driver - Foton 6N8S with 6BX7s. This will rock you.
Then listen to this classic rock and you will be swinging like the crowd.
Looked at my Foton tube - it seems reasonable that your tube is from 1966. The 1952-55 ribbed anode tubes are better sounding IMHO, but the 60's tubes are nice as well with very good bass.No idea. Says 6H8C on the glass with the number 66. This pair was given to me so I have no idea on the specs.
